I do not recommend this dentist. The appearance of the office is professional, however, the dentistry is questionable. In particular, I believe that Dr. Bishop charges patients a lot of money for "preventative" procedures that are unnecessary. For example, Dr. Bishop uses sensitive (and costly) but dubious detection equipment to find "cavities" that may or may not really need to be filled. Before visiting Dr. Bishop, please read the New York Times article "A Closer Look at Teeth May Mean More Fillings" (published November 28, 2011 and available online) regarding this brand of dentistry:
Dr. Bishop also sent me to her friend, an oral surgeon, who told me I needed over $5000.00 dollars worth of painful surgery for gum recession. My new dentist told me that the surgery is not necessary, and said, "Let me put it this way, if it were my own teeth I would not have it done." My new dentist is carefully monitoring the potential problem, rather than quickly jumping into an expensive and perhaps unnecessary "preventative" procedure.
I do not have a problem with preventative dentistry per se, but do not think that "preventive" procedures are always the best or only way to approach dental care. Patients should always be given complete information. In my opinion, to present these procedures as absolutely necessary in order to make more money borders on unethical.
Hope this review helps. Good luck in choosing your dentist.
